The Montreal Canadiens hired Michel Therrien as their head coach on Tuesday. On Wednesday, some other pieces started to fall into place.

Randy Cunneyworth, who served as interim coach after Jacques Martin's dismissal, and assistant Randy Ladouceur won't return, the team announced.

“I felt it was important that I notify them immediately in order for them to start looking for other opportunities without further delay," Therrien said in a team release. "On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank both of them for their valuable contribution to the team and wish them the very best for the future."

Also, Patrick Roy said he's "not bitter at all" about not getting the job and wished Therrien the best.

“I’m taking nothing but positives out of this thing,” Roy, a former Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche star and current coach and executive in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, said at a news conference, according to the National Post.

Roy also rejected perceptions that his ego could've played against him in the process and said he was touched that GM Marc Bergevin came to Florida to meet him there.

Finally, according to TSN.ca, Bergevin is expected to hire Martin Lapointe as their new director of player development. Lapointe was also considering the position of assistant coach in Montreal, but opted for a role in management.

Lapointe, who played junior hockey for Therrien played almost 1,000 games in the NHL with Detroit, Boston, Chicago and Ottawa.

Bergevin and Therrien have taken over leadership of a club that finished second to last in the Eastern Conference last year. Off the ice, controversy followed the Canadiens, particularly over the appointment of Cunneyworth, who doesn't speak French, as the interim coach. Therrien does; he also grew up in Montreal and coached the team from 2000-03.
